If it's prescription medicine, treat it like any other prescription medicine. Demanding otherwise only adds weight to the argument that the medicinal qualities are overstated (an argument I personally don't agree with FWIW).

The individually packaged brownies, lollipops and chocolate-dipped cookies for sale at the Green Halo dispensary in Tucson look like kid-friendly snacks. Subby did you even read the article or were you too high

DubtodaIll:When is big tobacco going to get in to the marijuana game? I remember some years ago they already had plans and packaging ready in the event that marijuana was ever legalized i.e. the Marlboro Green.

They've had package designs ready for at least a decade. They're probably waiting until it becomes legal on the national level. The feds would probably not look kindly on truckloads of joints crossing state lines.

With all their factories and whatnot going derilict seems like they would be all over it.

Why is it the responsibility of the people selling the product to protect the user's children? How about the pot heads put the magic brownies on the top shelf and not on the coffee table next to a big glass of milk.

Everyone I know needs to protect their moms from their edible stash. My husband's aunt got into her son's stuff and he had to call another friend to baby-sit her because she was having quite a time. She apparently ate 4x more than he would have.

It has to be sold in a dispensary, not in a candy store.So then, the ill person buys it, and takes it home. What is packaging going to do to keep a kid from it unless the parent keeps it out of the hands of children. And if the parent is doing his/her job, then the product doesn't need the extra packaging.

Emposter:Not seeing how this is silly (I know, welcome to fark). Perfectly rational solution Complete over reaction to a perfectly reasonable manufactured problem.

FTFY

Also, I love when people go to the hospital after accidentally eating a pot brownie. There is no such thing as a pot overdose. Just wait a couple of hours, it will go away. Just grab a snack, watch Blazing Saddles and go about your life

I think if you didn't know what was going on you'd probably think you were sick. People who aren't accustomed to eating pot might not recognize what was happening.

Next week's Tom Sawyer:If it's prescription medicine, treat it like any other prescription medicine. Demanding otherwise only adds weight to the argument that the medicinal qualities are overstated (an argument I personally don't agree with FWIW).

This.

Except I think the medical qualities are overstated.

But I think that doesn't matter. Let people take the medicine they want.

I'm an Internet Physician: I do not know the effects a weed on a child 2-10. Given the strength of weed the disorientation could be hazardous or dangerous. I think it's a small, if any, burden that appears to be motivated by a desire to potentially enhance the protection of children from a realistic threat.

My cleaning crew recently sent me an email, asking that I reply with a personal email address (i use my work one) as they had an urgent personal question for me. I immediately thought they must have found the sex dungeon, and the midget with the bowling pin and wolverine. So I called, and the husband answered, and said he was so embarrassed, but he had to ask... was there anything in those brownies on my counter? Why yes, yes there was. He then says "there better be something in them, or I'm gonna call a doctor, cause I'm farked up". "I'm a christian, so I haven't smoked in 20 years but I think I'm stoned." I silently ignored the hypocrisy of smoking weed is bad yet stealing my damn brownies is ok, but overall it was starting to get funny. I asked where his wife was (they work together) and he said she was passed out on the couch, but since he was high he was going to get some chips and watch TV and just enjoy it.

Medicine should never be easily confused with food by anyone, of any age. That's just common sense.

Every edible I've ever bought was clearly marked that it contained marijuana, not for resale etc. and come packaged individually. If you can read, you won't be confused.

And if you're 2 years old you probably can't read.

If a 2 year old has access to it, it means the parents are doing a shiat job. A can of beer looks a lot like a can of soda too. It's up to the parents to keep dangerous products away from kids. Packaging won't do shiat.

To this day, I STILL hear tales of folks simply eating the dried plant/buds - from what friends have said, the stuff need to be heated to release the THC compound which results in the highly promoted effects. Same friends have said simply eating it does nothing but waste it and give stomach cramps for some (or so I hear).

Personally, I stick with legal, approved things like tobacco and alcohol - which obviously are okay (as opposed to the aforementioned demon weed - thus the illegality and tales of whoa...)

Ooh, the dreaded "I know you are but what am I" defense. Care to explain your position? I've made arguments in this thread, you make a statement, but refuse to explain your thinking. You are either retarded or a troll.

Elvis Presleys Death Throne:My friends mom(never even drank before or since) accidentally ate a plate of LSD brownies when she was in college. Given how much of a square, dull fark she is that must have been quite the show.

LSD brownies? Hmm. That would be a waste. LSD breaks up readily from heat, and the dose is so small there's no reason to hide it in brownies to cover up anything. If the person had a solution of it available they might as well put it in sugar cubes instead of brownie mix.

Right, not everybody has kids and wants packaging that is hard to get into. How about parents just keep shiat that their kids shouldn't have away from their kids? The whole world does not need to be childproofed.
